Background:  Using quadruple clarithromycin‐containing regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication is controversial with high rates of macrolide resistance. Aim:  To evaluate antibiotic resistance rates and the efficacy of empirical and tailored nonbismuth quadruple (concomitant) therapy in a setting with cure rates <80% for triple and sequential therapies. Methods:  209 consecutive naive H. pylori‐positive patients without susceptibility testing were empirically treated with 10‐day concomitant therapy (proton pump inhibitors (PPI), amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg; all drugs b.i.d.). Simultaneously, 89 patients with positive H. pylori culture were randomized to receive triple versus concomitant therapy for clarithromycin‐susceptible H. pylori, and sequential versus concomitant therapy for clarithromycin‐resistant strains. Eradication was confirmed with 13C‐urea breath test or histology 8 weeks after completion of treatment. Results:  Per‐protocol (PP) and intention‐to‐treat eradication rates after empirical concomitant therapy without susceptibility testing were 89% (95%CI:84–93%) and 87% (83–92%). Antibiotic resistance rates were: clarithromycin, 20%; metronidazole, 34%; and both clarithromycin and metronidazole, 10%. Regarding clarithromycin‐susceptible H. pylori, concomitant therapy was significantly better than triple therapy by per protocol [92% (82–100%) vs 74% (58–91%), p = 0.05] and by intention to treat [92% (82–100%) vs 70% (57–90%), p = 0.02]. As for antibiotic‐resistant strains, eradication rates for concomitant and sequential therapies were 100% (5/5) vs 75% (3/4), for clarithromycin‐resistant/metronidazole‐susceptible strains and 75% (3/4) vs 60% (3/5) for dual‐resistant strains. Conclusions:  Empirical 10‐day concomitant therapy achieves good eradication rates, close to 90%, in settings with multiresistant H. pylori strains. Tailored concomitant therapy is significantly superior to triple therapy for clarithromycin‐susceptible H. pylori and at least as effective as sequential therapy for resistant strains.  相似文献

Background: The success rate of currently recommended 7‐day triple therapy with a PPI plus amoxicillin and clarithromycin has fallen into the unacceptable range. It is urgent to look for a new strategy to treat the infection of Helicobacter pylori. Aims: To observe the efficacy of triple therapy‐based, bismuth‐containing quadruple therapy for H. pylori treatment. Methods: A total of 160 patients with functional dyspepsia who were Hp+ were randomly assigned into two groups. Regimen: Omeprazole 20 mg, Amoxicillin 1.0 g, Clarithromycin 500 mg and Bismuth Potassium Citrate 220 mg, twice a day. Eighty patients received 7‐day quadruple therapy and 80 patients received the same therapy for 14 days. Six weeks after treatment, H. pylori eradication was assessed by 13C‐urea breath test. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin of clinical isolates were determined by the twofold agar dilution method. Results: Fourteen‐day therapy led to a significant increase of H. pylori eradication success when compared to 7‐day therapy in the intention‐to‐treat analysis (93.7 vs 80.0%; p = .01), and the per‐protocol analysis (97.4 vs 82.0%; p = .0016). The H. pylori resistance rates to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin were 42.1, 18.0 and 0%. Fourteen‐day therapy was significantly more effective in patients with clarithromycin‐resistant strains. Incidences of adverse events were comparable. Conclusions: Addition bismuth and prolonging treatment duration can overcome H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin and decrease the bacterial load. Fourteen‐day triple therapy‐based, bismuth‐containing quadruple therapy achieved ITT success rate 93% and could be recommended as the first line eradication regimen.  相似文献

Background: Recent studies have suggested the eradication rate for Helicobacter pylori infection with standard amoxycillin–clarithromycin‐containing triple therapy as first‐line treatment have fallen below 80%. Levofloxacin‐containing triple therapy was proposed as an alternative. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the standard 7‐day clarithromycin‐containing triple therapy against the 7‐day levofloxacin‐containing triple therapy, and to assess whether the classical triple therapy is still valid as empirical first‐line treatment for H. pylori infection in Hong Kong. Methods: Three hundred consecutive H. pylori‐positive patients were randomized to receive either 1 week of EAL (esomeprazole 20 mg b.d., amoxycillin 1 g b.d., and levofloxacin 500 mg daily) or EAC (esomeprazole 20 mg b.d., amoxycillin 1 g b.d., and clarithromycin 500 mg b.d.). H. pylori status was rechecked by 13C‐urea breath test 6 weeks after treatment. Patients who failed either of the first‐line eradication therapy were invited to undergo H. pylori susceptibility testing. Results: H. pylori eradication was achieved in 128 of 150 (85.3%) patients in EAL and 139 of 150 (92.7%) patients in EAC groups, respectively (p = .043), for both intention‐to‐treat and per‐protocol analysis. More patients in the clarithromycin‐ than the levofloxacin‐containing therapy group developed side effects from the medication (21.3% vs 13.3%, p = .060). Nine patients (six from the EAL group and three from the EAC group) who failed their corresponding eradication therapy returned for susceptibility testing. All nine isolates were highly resistant to levofloxacin (minimum inhibitory concentration or MIC > 32 μg/mL), whereas only two of the six isolates from the EAL group were resistant to clarithromycin (MIC > 0.5 μg/mL). Conclusions: The standard 7‐day clarithromycin‐containing triple therapy is still valid as the most effective empirical first‐line eradication therapy for H. pylori infection in Hong Kong, as prevalence of primary resistance of H. pylori to amoxycillin and clarithromycin remains low. Patients who failed their empirical first‐line eradication therapy should undergo H. pylori susceptibility testing to guide further treatment.  相似文献

Background. Primary and acquired resistance to the antimicrobial agents is a primary reason for the failure of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapies. We assessed the primary antibiotic resistance rates of H. pylori to three different antibiotics and its relationship due to the annual antibiotic consumption in Japan during the period prior to approval of anti‐H. pylori therapy in Japan. Materials and Methods. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested using the agar dilution method for clarithromycin, amoxicillin and metronidazole. Isolates were considered resistant when the MIC value was > 8 mg/l for metronidazole, > 1 mg/l for clarithromycin and < 0.5 mg/l for amoxicillin. Results. Helicobacter pylori isolates were obtained from 593 Japanese patients from 1995 to 2000. Primary resistance of H. pylori to clarithromycin, metronidazole and amoxicillin was found in 11%, 9% and 0.3% strains, respectively. The proportion with clarithromycin resistance significantly increased from 7% in 1997–98 to 15.2% in 1999–2000 (p = .003). During the same period the metronidazole resistance rate also increased from 6.6% in 1997–98 to 12% in 1999–2000 (p = .02). The prevalence of clarithromycin and metronidazole was related to the annual consumption of these antimicrobial agents. Conclusion. Resistance rates for both clarithromycin and metronidazole appear to reflect the annual consumption of these agents. The high rate of clarithromycin resistance in Japan suggests that the effectiveness of clarithromycin‐based therapies may be compromised in the near future.  相似文献

Background

The decreasing eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori is mainly because of the progressive increase in its resistance to antibiotics. Studies on antimicrobial susceptibility of Hpylori in children are limited. This study aimed to investigate the resistance rates and patterns of Hpylori strains isolated from children.

Materials and Methods

Gastric mucosa biopsy samples obtained from children who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were cultured for H. pylori, and susceptibility to six antibiotics (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, gentamicin, furazolidone, metronidazole, and levofloxacin) was tested from 2012‐2014.

Results

A total of 545 H. pylori strains were isolated from 1390 children recruited. The total resistance rates of H. pylori to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin were 20.6%, 68.8%, and 9.0%, respectively. No resistance to amoxicillin, gentamicin, and furazolidone was detected. 56.1% strains were single resistance, 19.6% were resistant to more than one antibiotic, 16.7% for double resistance, and 2.9% for triple resistance in 413 strains against any antibiotic. And the H. pylori resistance rate increased significantly from 2012‐2014. There was no significant difference in the resistance rates to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin between different gender, age groups, and patients with peptic ulcer diseases or nonulcer diseases.

Conclusions

Antibiotic resistance was indicated in H. pylori strains isolated from children in Hangzhou, and it increased significantly during the 3 years. Our data strongly support current guidelines, which recommend antibiotic susceptibility tests prior to eradication therapy.  相似文献

Background: Increase of antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem. Within the 4 years before the turn of the millennium Helicobacter pylori strains isolated in children living in Vienna, Austria, showed a primary clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance of 20% and 16%, respectively. The aim of this retrospective follow‐up survey was to assess the further development and current antimicrobial resistance status. Methods: Children having undergone upper endoscopy between March 2002 and March 2008 at the same two co‐operating pediatric gastroenterology units which had also been collaborating on the prior assessment were included. H. pylori infection was diagnosed by rapid urease test, histology, and culture. If the latter was positive, susceptibility testing to amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole by E‐test followed. From March 2004 onwards, susceptibility to levofloxacin, tetracycline and rifampin was additionally assessed. Results: Out of 897 children, 153 had a proven infection with H. pylori and no history of prior eradication treatment. Their median age was 11.5 years (range 0.5–20.9 years). Primary resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole were 34% and 22.9%, respectively; dual resistance was found in 9.8% of the strains; 0.9% was resistant to tetracycline and rifampin, respectively. No case of amoxicillin resistance was detected. The only independent risk factor for clarithromycin resistance turned out to be the origin of a child from Austrian parents. Conclusions: In the last decade, the rate of primary resistance of H. pylori to clarithromycin continued to rise. No significant change was found regarding primary resistance to metronidazole or dual resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin, respectively.  相似文献

Background: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance varies in geographic areas. The information on the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in our local setting is therefore relevant as a guide for the treatment options. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the primary resistance rates among H. pylori isolated from Malaysian patients. Materials and methods: Biopsy samples were obtained from the stomach antrum and corpus of 777 patients from September 2004 until 2007. H. pylori isolated from these patients were then subjected to minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) determination using E‐test method, against metronidazole, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, and tetracycline. Results: From 777 patients, 119 were positive for H. pylori where a total of 187 strains were isolated. The resistance rates were noted to be 37.4% (metronidazole), 2.1% (clarithromycin), 1% (levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin), and 0% (amoxicillin and tetracycline). Different resistance profiles were observed among isolates from the antrum and corpus of 13 patients. Resistance to one type of antibiotic was observed in 36.4% of the strains where mono‐resistance to metronidazole was the most common. Resistance to ≥2 antibiotics was noted in 3.3% of isolates. High metronidazole MICs of ≥256 μg/mL were observed among the resistant strains. Conclusions: The resistance rates of the antibiotics used in primary treatment of H. pylori infections in Malaysia are low, and multi‐antibiotic‐resistant strains are uncommon. Infections with mixed populations of metronidazole‐sensitive and ‐resistant strains were also observed. However, the high metronidazole MIC values seen among the metronidazole‐resistant strains are a cause for concern.  相似文献

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of resistances in Helicobacter pylori against commonly used antibiotics including metronidazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and tetracycline in Iranian patients. Methods: H. pylori isolates were collected from gastric biopsies from patients referred for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at Tooba Medical Center, Sari, Iran, from 2007 to 2010. None of them had been using antibiotics for at least 8 months. H. pylori was identified based on morphological shape and positive biochemical tests for catalase, oxidase, and urease activity. Antibiotic resistance for metronidazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and tetracycline was investigated by using epsilometer test. Resistance was defined by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) > 0.5 mg/L for amoxicillin (AMX), >4 mg/L for tetracycline (TET), >8 mg/L for metronidazole (MTZ), and >1 mg/L for clarithromycin (CLR). Results: Strains were collected from 132 patients, mean age 45.8 years, 52 (39%) were women. Patients had diverse diagnoses: gastritis 42 (31.8%), duodenal ulcer 45 (34%), gastric cancer 15 (11.3%), or gastric ulcer 30 (22.7%). The prevalences of resistance of H. pylori strains isolated from the patients were 73.4% for metronidazole, 30% for clarithromycin, 6.8% for amoxicillin, and 9% for tetracycline. Twenty‐eight (21.2%) were double resistant to MTZ‐CLR, 16 (12.1%) showed triple resistance to MTZ‐CLR‐AMX, and 8 (6%) were resistant to all four tested antibiotics (MTZ‐CLR‐AMX‐TET). No associations were detected between multiple resistant strains and clinical manifestations (p > .05). Conclusions: The prevalence of H. pylori antibiotic resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin was high in Iran consistent with the reported low success rates for H. pylori treatment in this country.  相似文献

Background: The antimicrobials resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was able to sharply decline the eradication rate of H. pylori both in adults and children, but there are limited studies about the primary antibiotic resistance and the related gene mutations, specifically in China. Materials and Methods: The primary resistance to 9 antibiotics of 73 H. pylori strains isolated from gastric biopsies of children recruited at Beijing Children’s Hospital was assessed, and the mutations in 23S rRNA gene of 65 macrolide‐resistant strains and in gyrA and gyrB of 12 quinolone‐resistant strains were investigated. Results: The resistance rate to clarithromycin, azithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and rifampicin was 84.9%, 87.7%, 61.6%, 13.7%, 15.1%, and 6.8%, respectively. No resistance to amoxicillin, gentamicin, and tetracycline was observed. Dual, triple, and quadruple antibacterial resistant percentage was 46.6% (34/73), 15.1% (11/73), and 2.7% (2/73), respectively. The gene mutation rate of A2142C, A2142G, and A2143G in 23S rRNA gene was 1.5% (1/65), 6.2% (4/65), and 84.6% (55/65), respectively. The detection rate of mutations of Asn87, Asp91, and Met191 in GyrA was 41.7% (5/12), 25% (3/12), and 25% (3/12), respectively. Conclusion: The high prevalence of primary antibiotic resistance was out of expectation in H. pylori strains isolated from the children in Beijing. Antibiotic susceptibility should be made clear before the antibiotic was used in the anti‐H. pylori therapy in this population. The A2143G was the most populated mutation in macrolide‐resistant strains, and Asn87 and Asp91 of GyrA were the most common mutation points in quinolone resistance strains.  相似文献

Background. Helicobacter pylori eradication with omeprazole, amoxycillin, and metronidazole is both effective and inexpensive. However, eradication rates with different dosages and dosing vary, and data on the impact of resistance are sparse. In this study, three different dosages of omeprazole, amoxycillin, and metronidazole were compared, and the influence of metronidazole resistance on eradication was assessed. Methods. Patients (n = 394) with a positive H. pylori screening test result and endoscopy‐proven duodenal ulcer in the past were enrolled into a multicenter study performed in four European countries and Canada. After baseline endoscopy, patients were randomly assigned to treatment for 1 week with either omeprazole, 20 mg twice daily, plus amoxycillin, 1,000 mg twice daily, plus metronidazole, 400 mg twice daily (low M); or omeprazole, 40 mg once daily, plus amoxycillin, 500 mg three times daily, plus metronidazole, 400 mg three times daily (medium M); or omeprazole, 20 mg twice daily, plus amoxycillin, 1,000 mg twice daily, plus metronidazole, 800 mg twice daily (high M). H. pylori status at entry was assessed by a 13C urea breath test and a culture. Eradication was defined as two negative 13C‐urea breath test results 4 and 8 weeks after therapy. Susceptibility testing using the agar dilution method was performed at entry and in patients with persistent infection after therapy. Results. The eradication rates, in terms of intention to treat (ITT) (population n = 379) (and 95% confidence interval [CI]) were as follows: low M 76% (68%, 84%), medium M 76% (68%, 84%), and high M 83% (75%, 89%). By per‐protocol analysis (population n = 348), the corresponding eradication rates were: low M 81%, medium M 80%, and high M 85%. No H. pylori strains were found to be resistant to amoxycillin. Prestudy resistance of H. pylori strains to metronidazole was found in 72 of 348 (21%) of the cultures at entry (range, 10%–39% in the five countries). The overall eradication rate in prestudy metronidazole‐susceptible strains was 232 of 266 (87%) and, for resistant strains, it was 41 of 70 (57%; p < .001). Within each group, the results were as follows (susceptible/resistant): low M, 85%/54%; medium M, 86%/50%; and high M, 90%/75%. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups. 23 strains susceptible to metronidazole before treatment were recultured after therapy failed; 20 of these had now developed resistance. Conclusions. H. pylori eradication rates were similar (approximately 80%) with all three regimens. Metronidazole resistance reduced efficacy; increasing the dose of metronidazole appeared not to overcome the problem or significantly improve the outcome. Treatment failure was generally associated with either prestudy or acquired metronidazole resistance. These findings are of importance when attempting H. pylori eradication in communities with high levels of metronidazole resistance.  相似文献

Background. Clarithromycin‐resistant Helicobacter pylori (CRHP) is increasing worldwide. Clarithromycin resistance in Hpylori from familial members has not been investigated. Materials and Methods. Biopsy specimens were taken from 13 families living in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Niigata between 1998 and 2001. Drug resistance was tested with the replica plating method. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobial agents for Hpylori strains were determined by the agar dilution method. Molecular analyses of Hpylori strains were performed by ribosomal RNA gene restriction pattern analysis. The DNA region, associated with clarithromycin resistance, was analyzed by PCR and sequencing. Results. Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from a 5‐year‐old‐son displayed clarithromycin resistance with a mutation (A → G at position 2143) in the 23S ribosomal RNA, whereas Hpylori strains from his parents did not. DNA analyses revealed that the boy was infected with his father's strain. The boy had repeatedly developed otitis media and received clarithromycin since the age of 2 years. Studies on an additional 12 families demonstrated that clarithromycin resistance in the children's strains reached 42.9% and was significantly higher than those of Hpylori strains from their parents (0%) or from adult patients (11.1%) (p < .05). Conclusions. The rate of clarithromycin resistance in H. pylori strains from Japanese children was extremely high, in contrast to those from their parents or adult patients. Prior history of clarithromycin usage in a child suggested development of clarithromycin resistance in resident H. pylori, which was originated from a parent.  相似文献

Background: Helicobacter pylori eradication rates have tended to decrease recently, mostly due to antibiotic resistance. In the present study, our aim was to determine Hp eradication rate with the LAC plus tid metronidazole regimen and the secondary objective of this study was to identify an effective regimen for our population. Methods: Eighty‐four Hp‐positive patients with non‐ulcer dyspepsia were assigned into the same group. Patients were administered the classical LAC protocole (lansoprazole 30 mg bid, amoxicillin 1 g bid and claritromycin 500 mg bid for 14 days) plus metronidazole 500 mg tid for 14 days. Gastroscopy and histopathological assessment were performed before enrollment and C14 urea breath test and stool antigen test were performed 6 weeks after treatment. Results: All 84 patients completed the study. No patient left the study because of drug side effect. Total eradication rate was 75% (63/84). Conclusion: Although LAC plus tid metronidazole regimen achieved a much better eradication rate compared with the standard LAC regimen; this is the first study that has a relatively low success with a concomitant therapy. So in areas of high resistance like Turkey, one cannot expect a high success with any clarithromycin containing regimen and those should be avoided.  相似文献

Aims: While triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin is the standard therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication, it is ineffective against clarithromycin‐resistant strains. To seek a better regimen for eradication therapy, we assessed the sensitivity of clinical strains seen in Japan to faropenem and then evaluated the efficacy and safety of eradication therapy containing this antibiotic. Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of faropenem were determined in 78 Japanese clinical H. pylori isolates using the agar dilution method. H. pylori‐positive patients were consecutively assigned to a 7‐day eradication therapy protocol with LAF (lansoprazole 60 mg/day, amoxicillin 2000 mg/day, and faropenem 600 mg/day), and then to a 14‐day protocol. The outcomes of the therapies were assessed by 13C‐urea breath tests. Results: All 78 strains showed MICs of faropenem that were equal to or less than 0.2 µg/mL. The eradication rates according to intention‐to‐treat analyses were 46.5% with the 7‐day therapy (n = 43) and 62.5% with the 14‐day therapy (n = 32). No special measures were required to treat the adverse events observed in approximately one‐third of the patients. Conclusions: Faropenem was found to have good antimicrobial action against H. pylori in vitro. The 14‐day LAF therapy successfully eradicated H. pylori in about two‐thirds of the patients although the incidence of adverse events was high.  相似文献

Objective: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is the single most important determinant of treatment success. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori resistance to clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, tetracycline, levofloxacin, rifabutin, and furazolidone in our local bacterial strains. Methods: Samples from consecutive ninety patients were obtained for culture and sensitivity testing. Resistance to individual antibiotics were tested using the E‐test and MIC90 read from the strips. Resistance to rifampicin and nitrofurantoin were used as a surrogate for rifabutin and furazolidine. Results: There was a high prevalence of resistance to metronidazole 68/90 (75.5%). No male (34/45 (75.5%) versus female (35/45 (77.7%) difference in frequency of metronidazole resistance was noted (p = 1.000). There was zero resistance 0 to clarithromycin, levofloxacin, amoxicillin, and nitrofurantoin/furazolidone. Resistance to rifampicin/rifabutin was for breakpoints of 1 and 4 μg/mL of 14.4 and 2.2% respectively. Conclusions: Although there was high bacterial resistance to metronidazole, the absence of resistance particularly to the key antibiotics used in H. pylori eradication therapy: clarithromycin and levofloxacin is reassuring to note. Continued monitoring of antibiotic resistance should be carried out.  相似文献

Background: Therapy combining a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), clarithromycin and either amoxicillin or metronidazole is widely recommended for first‐line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection. The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of PPI‐containing triple therapy and identify factors influencing the cure rate of H. pylori infection in South China. Materials and Methods: H. pylori positive patients with different occupations from 25 hospitals in five provinces of South China were enrolled. They received a PPI, metronidazole and amoxicillin triple therapy for a week. H. pylori eradication was evaluated by 13C‐urea breath test 4 weeks after therapy. Association between H. pylori eradication with occupation, gender, age, educational level, and protocol compliance was evaluated by Logistic regression. Results: Six hundred and seventy‐five were enrolled. The intention‐to‐treat and per‐protocol analyses showed overall cure rates of 60% (95% CI = 56.3–63.7%) and 64.5% (95% CI = 60.7–68.3%), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that occupation, gender and protocol compliance were positively associated with the eradication rate (p < .01). The cure rate for those who took 80% or more of the prescribed drugs was 64.5% (95% CI = 60.7–68.3%) versus 14.6% (95% CI = 6–29%, p < .001) for those who took less. Lower eradication rates were also observed in farmers and women. Conclusions: The eradication rate with a PPI, metronidazole and amoxicillin triple therapy was unacceptably low in South China. These results suggest that studies of the eradication of H. pylori infection in China must take into account antibiotic resistance as well as patient occupation, gender, and protocol compliance. Gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease are both important in China making methods to effectively and efficiently eradicate H. pylori a priority.  相似文献

Background

Geographic differences exist in the antibiotic resistance patterns of Helicobacter pylori. Personalized treatment regimens based on local or individual resistance data are essential. We evaluated the current status of H. pylori resistance in Ningxia, analyzed resistance-related factors, and assessed the concordance of phenotypic and genotypic resistance.

Methods

Strains were isolated from the gastric mucosa of patients infected with H. pylori in Ningxia and relevant clinical information was collected. Phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility assays (Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion) and antibiotic resistance gene detection (Sanger sequencing) were performed.

Results

We isolated 1955 H. pylori strains. The resistance rates of H. pylori to amoxicillin, levofloxacin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole were 0.9%, 42.4%, 40.4%, and 94.2%, respectively. Only five tetracycline-resistant and one furazolidone-resistant strain were identified. Overall, 3.3% of the strains were sensitive to all six antibiotics. Multidrug-resistant strains accounted for 22.9%, of which less than 20% were from Wuzhong. Strains isolated from women and patients with nonulcerative disease had higher rates of resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin. Higher rates of resistance to metronidazole, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin were observed in the older age group than in the younger age group. The kappa coefficients of phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance for levofloxacin and clarithromycin were 0.830 and 0.809, respectively, whereas the remaining antibiotics showed poor agreement.

Conclusion

H. pylori antibiotic resistance is severe in Ningxia. Therefore, furazolidone, amoxicillin, and tetracycline are better choices for the empirical therapy of H. pylori infection in this region. Host sex, age, and the presence of ulcerative diseases may affect antibiotic resistance of the bacteria. Personalized therapy based on genetic testing for levofloxacin and clarithromycin resistance may be a future direction for the eradication therapy of H. pylori infection in Ningxia.  相似文献

Background: Most treatments deemed effective for Helicobacter pylori eradication in developed countries are less effective in developing countries. Regimens containing clarithromycin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin seem efficacious despite antibiotic resistance, and may be a viable option in developing countries. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the efficacy of a 14‐day regimen with 500 mg clarithromycin b.i.d., 500 mg metronidazole t.i.d., and 500 mg amoxicillin t.i.d. (with and without a proton pump inhibitor), and a 10‐day regimen containing 500 mg clarithromycin b.i.d., 1 g amoxicillin b.i.d., and 20 mg omeprazole b.i.d. in Pasto, Colombia, using a randomized, single‐blind design stratified by presence of atrophic gastritis. Results: H. pylori was eradicated in 86.8% and 85.3% of the participants randomized to a clarithromycin‐metronidazole‐amoxicillin and clarithromycin‐amoxicillin‐omeprazole regimens, respectively (p = .79). Per‐protocol analyses indicated greater efficacy for the clarithromycin‐metronidazole‐amoxicillin regimen (97%) versus the clarithromycin‐amoxicillin‐omeprazole regimen (86%) (p = .04), particularly for participants with atrophic gastritis (clarithromycin‐metronidazole‐amoxicillin = 100%, clarithromycin‐amoxicillin‐omeprazole = 81%; p = .02). Adverse events were mild, but adverse event‐related non‐compliance was reported more often for regimens containing clarithromycin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin. Conclusions: Our results suggest that an eradication rate of > 85% can be achieved with 14‐day clarithromycin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin and 10‐day clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and omeprazole regimens in Pasto, Colombia. The regimens containing clarithromycin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin appear to be superior to the clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and omeprazole regimen for compliant participants and those with atrophic gastritis. Our findings provide treatment options for a population in a developing country with a high prevalence of H. pylori infections and antibiotic resistance.  相似文献

Background and Aim: Fluoroquinolone resistance of Helicobacter pylori is known to be dependent on mutations in the QRDR of gyrA. This study was performed to investigate the distribution of gyrA point mutations and to evaluate the impact of the mutations on second‐line H. pylori eradication therapy. Methods: After H. pylori isolation from gastric mucosal specimens, fluoroquinolone resistance was examined using the agar dilution method. DNA sequencing of the QRDR of gyrA was performed in 89 fluoroquinolone‐resistant and 27 fluoroquinolone‐susceptible isolates. Transformation experiments were performed to confirm mutations in the resistant strains. The eradication rates of moxifloxacin‐containing triple therapy were evaluated depending on the resistance of fluoroquinolone. Results: The gyrA mutations were detected in 75.3% (55 of 73 strains) of the primary resistant strains and 100% (16 strains) of the secondary resistant strains. The most common mutations were Asp‐91 (36.0%) and Asn‐87 (33.7%). The MIC values in the transformed strains differed depending on the gyrA mutations, N87, and D91. Six patients with fluoroquinolone‐resistant strains received moxifloxacin‐containing triple therapy as the second‐line therapy, and two of three patients with Asn‐87 mutations (66.7%) failed in the eradication. By contrast, three patients with Asp‐91 mutations had successful eradication treatment. Conclusions: Fluoroquinolone resistance of H. pylori was caused by gyrA Asn‐87 and Asp‐91 point mutations. The Asn‐87 mutation seems to be an important determinant of failure of fluoroquinolone‐containing triple eradication therapy based on eradication results.  相似文献

Background

The increasing prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antimicrobial resistance, primarily for clarithromycin decreases the success of treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the local pattern of first‐line antimicrobials resistance and the eradication rate.

Material and Methods

Prospective cohort study of H. pylori infected patients (positive histological or cultural exams) treated at Centro Materno‐Infantil do Norte from January of 2013 to October of 2017. Susceptibility to 4 antibiotics: amoxicilin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, and levofloxacin were analyzed by E‐test (phenotypic resistance). The E‐test was chosen because it is simple and cost‐effective for routine susceptibility testing. Point mutations that confer clarithromycin resistance were surveyed (genotypic resistance). Eradication of H. pylori infection was defined by a negative urea breath test or fecal antigen 6‐8 weeks after the end of treatment.

Results

Of a total of 74 H. pylori infected patients, 16 were excluded because they had previous H. pylori treatment or severe systemic disease. Median age of infection cases was 15 years (3‐17 years). Eradication regimen used in all patients combined the use of 3 antibiotics (amoxicillin and metronidazole or clarithromycin) and proton pump inibhitor for 14 days and was tailored according antimicrobial susceptibility. 79.5% of the patients completed the treatment. The resistance rate for metronidazole and clarithromycin was 3.3% and 23.3%, respectively. There was no resistance for amoxicilin and levofloxacin. The rate of genotypic resistance to clarithromycin was 37.2%. The eradication rate was 97.8%.

Conclusions

The authors found a high resistance rate of H. pylori for clarithromycin in this northern portuguese pediatric center. This factor should determine a change in local current treatment, contraindicating the use of clarithromycin as a first‐line treatment for H. pylori infection in children. The high eradication rate maybe explained for the eradication treatment tailored according antimicrobial susceptibility.  相似文献

Background: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in children in developing countries needs further investigations upon which to base treatment recommendations. The aim of the study was to compare two 2‐week triple therapies in a randomized double‐blind trial. Materials and Methods: In order not to exceed recommended dosages, the 238 H. pylori‐infected children, aged 3 to 15 years (mean 8.6), were divided in two weight categories receiving at weights 13–22 kg: lansoprazole 15 mg once‐daily and amoxicillin 500 mg twice‐daily with metronidazole 250 mg twice‐daily or clarithromycin 250 mg once‐daily; at weights 23–45 kg: lansoprazole 15 mg and amoxicillin 750 mg with metronidazole 500 mg or clarithromycin 250 mg, all administered twice daily. H. pylori status was assessed by culture and a monoclonal‐based antigen‐in‐stool test (Premier Platinum HpSA PLUS) and side effects by structured questionnaires. Results: The overall per‐protocol eradication (n = 233) was similar in the two treatment regimens, 62.1% for the metronidazole and 54.7% for the clarithomycin‐containing therapy. Eradication rate was higher in children ≥ 23 kg (70.9%) than in children < 23 kg (45.7%). In children ≥ 23 kg (n = 117) that received twice‐daily administration of all drugs, efficacy of the methronidazole and clarithromycin‐containing treatments were 69.5% and 72.4%, respectively. Conclusions: The two treatments gave similar eradication rates. Significant differences for both treatments were found by weight, which could be the result of the once‐daily proton pump inhibitor and clarithromycin and/or more antibiotic resistant strains in younger children.  相似文献
